Camp Pine Woods Habitat Restoration: 2022 Wrap-up
The fall of 2020 saw the first prescribed burn of the prairie/shrubland in recent memory, knocking back some of the invasive buckthorn that had begun to creep back from previous removal efforts. Multiple acres of woodland were also cleared of buckthorn and other invasive species, some of which have now been re-seeded with native grasses, sedges, and flowers. Over 200 oak and hickory saplings were located and caged in these cleared areas, paving the way for the next generation of large trees.

The Forest Preserves of Cook County and the Village of Winnetka have been negotiating for several years on this project, which now seems to be moving forward.
